KIA VERDICT ‘HUGE VICTORY FOR AFTERMARKET’ SAY IAAF
The Supreme Court in Stockholm has dismissed Kia Motor’s petition to appeal against their conviction in
December 2012 for breach of competition in the Swedish market on its seven-year new car warranty.
Under the EU Motor Vehicle Block Exemption Regulation 461/2010, manufacturers have a duty to honour the vehicle’s warranty when it is serviced outside of the dealership, and non-OE parts being fitted onto a vehicle is an insufficient reason for the warranty to be declared invalid.
